Timothy Keith Moore (born October 2, 1970)[1] is an American attorney and politician who has been the U.S. representative for North Carolina's 14th congressional district since 2025.

[citation needed] A staunch conservative Republican, Moore spent his first four terms in office in the minority party, as Democrats then controlled the House.

[2] In 2010, the Republicans won control of the House, and Speaker Thom Tillis appointed Moore to the powerful post of chairman of the Rules Committee, where he became known for abruptly cutting off many floor debates.

[2] As part of the Republican leadership team in the House, Moore helped pass "sweeping legislation to lower taxes on business, tighten rules on abortion and voting, and decline to extend Medicaid coverage to 500,000 uninsured North Carolinians.

After the U.S. Department of Justice said that the legislation violated federal anti-discrimination law and demanded that the state cease implementation,[9] Moore rejected the DOJ's position and accused the Obama administration of "bullying", saying, "The deadline will come and go.

In a legal suit against partisan gerrymandering in the state, Moore and his state Senate counterpart (Republican Phil Berger) urged the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a lower court's ruling that the partisan gerrymandering of North Carolina's congressional districts was unconstitutional.

[19] The North Carolina State Board of Elections and Ethics reviewed the complaint and information resulting from the staff's investigation.

The investigating panel from the State Elections and Ethics Board unanimously voted to dismiss the complaint upon conclusion of their inquiry.

On the morning of September 11, 2019, during a calendared legislative session Moore called a vote to override the veto of the state budget.

Moore succeeded Jeff Jackson, who did not seek reelection and instead ran successfully for North Carolina Attorney General after the redrawing made his district significantly more Republican leaning.

In January 2025, President Donald Trump appointed Moore to serve on a board investigating FEMA's disaster response following Hurricane Helene.

While a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, Moore directed state funding toward projects in his home county of Cleveland.

[24] In 2016, Cleveland County received a $1.5 million grant-funded water and sewer upgrades for an area where several individuals with close connections to Moore's campaign resided.

[26] In 2012, Moore's private law practice in Kings Mountain received a $62,000 development grant, during a year which was noted for steep state budget cuts.

[30] Moore and his business partners sold that property to Mountaire Farms, an Arkansas-based poultry conglomerate that is a donor to North Carolina Republicans, for a 650% profit.
